"within hundred yards" defines a range so shouldn't it be.
- the school lies within hundred yards OF the church.
- the school lies within hundred yards OF the church.

This should be:.
"The school is within hundred yards OF the Church" since the distance is not specific. And if the distance were specific, then the sentence would be "The school is hundred yards FROM the Church".
"The school is within hundred yards OF the Church" since the distance is not specific. And if the distance were specific, then the sentence would be "The school is hundred yards FROM the Church".
